I would have loved a dark ending. Either have the White Walker conquer mankind and destroy humanity or reveal that whoever is left ruling is an uncover WW. Like have Bran sitting on the new throne and his eyes all of a sudden his eyes go blue. Roll the credits.

There is much I hated about the way the show ended. The worst of it, IMHO, was 3 eyed raven being king and Arya turning into Magellan. But, I can deal with all of that if they would have just given us one more twist at the end. After Daenerys died, it was just so boring. I would have loved if Jon and Tormund found some evidence of surviving WWs at the end, or to have seen Bran giving an evil laugh with blue eyes or watching Drogon circling back around to torch the small council or any other number of things to remind everyone this isn’t a happily ever after.

I’m 100% with you on Bran being the king. It feels completely wrong. He’s supposed to be some kind of magical inhuman creature. Definitely not the King of the SIX Kingdoms. What happened to the part about the Night King and 3eyed raven being in a multi century long feud? Everything about Bran is wrong. It’s stupid.

Except he’s a terrible choice for king. He’s not even Bran anymore. He’s the 3 eyed raven. Is he even a human? I thought he was a magical creature who would merge with a tree one day. I would rather have had Edmure.

Are you familiar with layman’s terms or are you one of this forum’s amateur or authentic psychiatrists? Lol. She lost her temper and killed people. OP called it a “snap.” People have been known to go into a rage and kill people, literally hundreds of times, probably more like thousands depending on how far back into history you want to go.

The “snap” was, in layman’s terms, simply a temper tantrum. I would not say that Daenerys has gone mad, as in schizophrenic. I would say she has anger issues. She has been shown to suffer enormous loss in both lives and love. And after having completely decimated the enemy forces, decides she’s not done yet. She REALLY wants these MFs to pay. Is temporary insanity still a thing? I know we’ve got some amateur psychiatrists on here, maybe even some professionals. She lost her cool. She went fucking crazy, obviously, if only for an hour. Nobody would burn down hundreds of thousands of innocents after they had surrendered who was thinking clearly. But, maybe she will think differently when she calms down. Have none of you ever lost your temper before? Stubbed your toe and wanted to go Hulk on the world? Got cut off in traffic and wanted to choke some stranger and curse his entire family? This is irrational anger manifested. Perhaps a type of madness, but much different than hallucinations, both auditory and visual. She just happens to be sitting on the most destructive weapon in the world when she goes off.

Does Dany know as much about the Targaryen ruling history as you? Or does she even care? It doesn’t matter what you think, what I think, what Tyrion, Sansa, or Jon thinks. Daenerys has the power. Daenerys has the dragon. It only matters what she thinks. Mad men (or women) never think that they are the crazy one. As long as Dany can justify her actions to herself, it’s OK to her. She wasn’t asking permission. She did it because she thought it was right.

I don’t think ANYONE agrees with Daenerys’s decision to ruthlessly slaughter all the innocents (except, maybe Grey Worm). But, that doesn’t mean that Daenerys doesn’t think it was a good idea. She is trying to rule the SEVEN KINGDOMS, not just one city. She just said that she is not loved and and that fear would be her method of rule in her last talk with Jon. This power move on KL, genocide or not, will definitely inspire fear throughout the seven kingdoms. So, this was a necessary evil to accomplish the greater good, at least in Daenerys’s eyes.

Very, very disappointed with both Cersei’s and Jaime’s deaths. Neither deserved to die in the arms of their lover. After all the evil shit from Cersei, I wanted her to suffer. And Jaime was a little bitch running back into her arms like that. Weak, weak. He was supposed to have changed.

I appreciate the recommendations. I’ve seen a few and definitely prefer GOT over them, but I guess we all have different tastes. I really like Better Call Saul, but I would rate it a solid 7, and I’d never imagine getting on a message board to discuss it with other fans. Westworld’s first season was great, but I never finished watching season two. I was bored with China and safari world. And I wanted to like Daredevil, but there was just too many things going on. It seemed to lack focus. I’ll make sure to check out the rest. Thanks again.

It has been very rushed for the last two seasons. I don’t think they could afford to keep all the actors together any longer and the CG budget was through the roof. But, like I said, it’s still better than 100% of everything else.

Jesus, looking at the ratings and reading the reviews, I don’t know why some of you even bother to watch. Gluttons for punishment, I guess. I loved it. It’s OK that it’s not a Shakespearean tragedy for me. Or true to GRRM gospel. It’s great entertainment. I would challenge the critics to find something better to watch. And let me know what it is. I really do want to know. I’m always looking for a good show.

Jon would never give away Ghost. That was total BS. . . Dany got screwed a whole bunch of ways tonight. First, nobody really likes her despite her being key to the WW defeat, Jon tells his family the Aegon secret five minutes after he tells her not to, Rhaegal is murdered, then Missandei. She’s right to be losing her religion. . . Was Varys saying he wanted to kill Dany? . . . Arya and Hound on the road again was poetic.

Not exactly. He said there are parallels, but he wasn’t thinking about climate change when he wrote the story.

I think that both Littlefinger and Varys will feature much more heavily in the endgame in the books. That was my lasting impression of the last book. Those two guys had way more to do with things than I had given them credit for.
